It reminds me of the "ourselves" lyrics, how ayu says she has many faces. This is a big deal for her and against the dark sky and overly mechanical setting, her different sides really come through. LX mentioned that the technique of manipulating colors like this has been done, and it has, but here is where I think it really fits and works perfectly. It's not a creative video, but every part of it fits together correctly. The first ayu's cutesy faces are really jarring after being introduced to such a dark set, but once you've watched the whole video you understand why she did it.

Love Appears, i agree with you on the editing along to the music... alot of ayu's videos have that problem though, particularly those directed by wataru takeishi. The editing is rather rough on those and always has been... is it unfortunate that I'm used to it at this point?

and yvette, you're right about it kinda looking like Myst! As soon as I read that I was like "omg she's right!" lol

My feelings on the song? It r0x0rz. I especially like when ayu does pop, but it's dark. Kinda like monochrome, Far away, stuff like that. That's what I think she's best at. As much of a rock fan as I am, i still enjoy songs like STEP you best in the long run.
